So it’s not the lubricant that is causing the rubber to liquefy causing the steering to be loose, it is rubber degrading over time. The only thing to do is put in a new bushing. Both Lyle Trudell craft59@... and Miles Chappell 600miles600@... make replacements. Bill From: 2cylinderhondas@yahoogroups.com [mailto: 2cylinderhondas@yahoogroups.com ]

Whilst on the subject of racks the black grease in the pinion "C" adjuster cavity isn't grease it's the rubber broken down by the grease over 40 odd years that surrounds the upper and lower bronze bush and that's were the free play is in the steering that won't "adjust out", the upper bush does not seem to be affected and it is the same part number as the lower one, it's difficult to see in the parts diagram but if you look carefully the bush has a rubber surface bonded to the bush which keeps it centered.
